Major Depression

Often referred to as clinical depression, this is persistent feelings of sadness and melancholy.

Postpartum Depression

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Depression caused by the lack of sunlight and natural element exposure. Fairly common for people in Colorado in the long, dark winter months.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Harvest’s Treatment Options for Anxiety and Depression

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – This type of therapy is predominantly talk therapy that focuses on correcting harmful patterns of thinking and introducing new coping mechanisms to help you combat your learned negative thoughts and behaviors

Trauma Therapy – Anxiety and Depression are often side-effects of unresolved or unprocessed trauma. Past experiences can cause long-term symptoms, and processing these experiences can alleviate the symptoms.

Group Therapy – Some people make more progress in group therapy because it can help to know that you are not alone in your experience with anxiety or depression

Trauma Yoga – Movement of the body is a great way to regulate emotions, control the chemicals being released in your brain, and establish a stronger connection with your body. Yoga focuses on developing a relationship with your mind, body, and breathing, in order to better regulate your emotions.

Intensive Outpatient (IOP) – IOP programs are more intensive therapeutic assistance. An IOP can range from 9-20 hours/wk, meeting between 3 and 5 times each week. Because of the increased length of time, IOPs allow people to get even deeper into the work of self-discovery and self-understanding, and can lead to even more relief from symptoms.
